GeeMan Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Good morning guys, i wonder if you can help me, over the last couple of days i have been starting the engine in the morning and it has been firing but not starting, eventually it starts, but rough, its a 2001 V6, it is very sluggish when ticking over initially, then settles after about 30secs at just under 1000 revs. Before it would just start first time go up to just over 1000 revs, then settle to under 1000 revs after a minute or so, which is normal. It is 3 weeks overdue on a service, however i cannot believe this is the cause and merely a coincidence. :lol: Also i'm sure i noticed a blueish smoke coming from exhaust this morning but it turned white almost straight away, is there anything i can do besides gettin the old girl serviced? also do any of my symptoms sound like a major problem is around the corner? Cheers GeeMan :D Quote
dipsomaniac Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) being 3 weeks overdue a service wouldn't make any difference, mine is 3 years overdue - i only change the oil regularly. there are 101 reasons why car is not starting - a stab in the dark would be coil pack breaking down but at Edited October 26, 2007 by dipsomaniac Quote
